KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As Kansas City’s restaurant community continues to navigate the coronavirus pandemic, they’ll have something familiar to look forward to this January.
On Tuesday, organizers announced the 12th annual Kansas City Restaurant Week, set for Jan. 8-17.
While coronavirus safety measures are likely still to be in place in January, event organizers say they’re working to develop a website that will allow diners to search menus based on what type of service they want - carryout, delivery or dine-on.
Diners will be able to select different price tiers during restaurant week: $15, $35 and $45.
“Although dining out may look different these days, one thing that has not wavered is our event’s commitment to highlighting our region’s diverse restaurant scene,” Visit KC President & CEO Jason Fulvi said Tuesday in a release. “Restaurant Week gives Kansas City the opportunity to showcase our local restaurant industry at a time when it’s needed most. These businesses—many of them small or family owned—are the lifeblood of our neighborhoods, frequently giving back to their communities. Now, it’s our turn to step to the plate and support them.”
The Don Bosco Centers will receive a portion of proceeds from every meal sold, along with Visit KC and Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association foundations.
“The Don Bosco Centers have been a staple of our community since 1940, and it’s with great honor that we select them as our featured beneficiary for the second year in a row,” GKCRA Executive Director Bill Teel said. “From championing our region’s elderly and immigrant communities to executing one of the largest Meals on Wheels programs in existence, Don Bosco’s need is now greater than ever. In addition to enjoying great meals at a great value, diners can rest assured they will also be supporting a worthy local cause this winter.”
